Just in case you think being a Cheer coach is all glamor… These hard working ladies were finishing off their night by hauling off the mats. Both squads performed with a great deal of energy tonight.

I know that there are Proud Mothers 👩 out there with even better photos and we would love to share them and now the Varsity Coach knows how to get them to us.

Mothers 👩 and Sons

Cavs Win, Cavs Win

I will close this one out with my top JV Boys 👦 jump ball to date

After school 🏫 today young Mr. Reitzel met up with his Basketball 🏀 teammates and Coaches for the Bus 🚌 ride over to Galax. Upon arriving he switched teams, not sure if he needed to use a phone booth (Superman reference) to change clothes or not but he then participated in the Math portion of the Academic meet.

 Next up, he switched into Basketball 🏀 clothes and helped lead that team to a victory.

Help Coach Shannon Dalton win a match – ✔

 Help Anthony Barnes win a game ✔

 Not sure what outfit he wore back home but wouldn’t be surprised if it included a Cape.

First things first, Thank You 🙏 Samantha Reed for capturing the moment !

Cody Reece spent the first half of tonight’s game at Galax doing what he does every night for Coach Barnes. Offering up his body under the glass for the good of the team. In the first quarter he had a picture 📷 perfect stuff of a shot under the basket on someone he was giving up size to.

Scoreless at the half, Reece dropped 10 points down the stretch and in doing so recorded his first double figure scoring effort !

 If you see Cody “Beast Mode ” Reece at school 🏫 tomorrow give him his props !

 Plenty more to follow after I get my night crew set to go for the night 🌙. Really wanted to get this one up first!

The town of Galax and the campus of the Maroon Tide will be stuffed full of Cavaliers and Cavs fans.

 This one will run 🏃‍♂️ for the evening so feel free to check back when its convenient for you to do so.

One of the 🚌 has arrived and our Basketball teams are in the in the building !

 Here’s to an enjoyable night 🌙

While I was waiting to meet Shannon I bumped into a couple of very important people in our community !

The other day someone asked me if I was Ben Tickle and I said No, but I want to be just like him if I ever grow up.
